About Geoffrey Toye
Edward Geoffrey Toye (February 17 1889 - June 11 1942) was an English conductor, composer and opera producer. Born in Winchester, Hampshire, Toye was the younger son of John Toye, a housemaster at Winchester College, who for many years ran a music society for the boys. He is best remembered as a music director of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and for his association with Sadler's Wells Theatre. One of his ballets, The Haunted Ballroom (1934), became popular and was revived several times, and the new overture that he prepared for Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore in 1919 became the standard version.
